Starting with last year's iPhone 14 series, Apple intends to expand the hardware configuration of the standard and Pro versions, and the high-priced Pro series is more technologically powerful, as is this year's iPhone 15 Pro series, which will be more powerful for night scenes and will use the LiDAR lidar supplied by Sony.

According to Guo Mingyi, an analyst at Tianfeng Securities, Sony will replace Lumentum and WIN Semi as the exclusive supplier of lidar (LiDAR) sensors to Apple's two flagship models, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

After equipped with the improved LiDAR sensor, the two models of iPhone 15 ProCan further improve night mode, autofocus and other shooting performance, and can further enhance the AR experience.

It is understood that lidar scanners can measure the time taken by the laser to reflect back after touching an object, so that it can draw a depth map of your space, and at the same time, it can also achieve 3D recognition and distance perception of objects, which can significantly improve the shooting effect and enhance the ability of AR applications.
